    摘要: The present invention consists of a stiffening plate for a spare tire storage system that is supported by a plurality of protrusions in the form of raised beads in the tub floor. The plate is raised from the tub floor via the beads, the structure thus forming a "double thick" cross section that reduces low frequency vibration, while at the same time allowing drainage during the coating process from between the layers and which does not increase weight or cost.

    摘要: A one-piece floating spring nut that has overlying upper and lower flattened leaves that extend from separated free ends into connection with a u-shaped spring hinge that resiliently joins the arms at their inboard ends. The upper leaf has a centralized nut locating and retaining collar extruded therefrom that also serves as a guide and through passage for a threaded fastener. The lower leaf has an extruded sleeve portion aligned with the locating and retaining collar, which is internally threaded to threadly receive the threaded fastener. The locating and retaining collar has a generally cylindrical configuration that extends with clearance into an opening in a support member to retain the spring nut in a pre-assembled position on the support member. The collar further cooperates with the edge of the enlarged opening to establish the amount of adjustment that the nut can float relative to the support. The float permits the nut to be adjusted on its support so that it can be aligned with an opening in the article being attached to the support by threaded fasteners that thread in to the sleeve portion of the nut.

    摘要: A bracket includes a hollow base that can be welded to a frame rail of a vehicle. The base includes opposing U-shaped retainer arms that face each other and that define a bolt passageway therebetween. A plate including an internally tapped cylinder having a diameter less than the bolt passageway is disposed in the base between the arms, with the tapped cylinder positioned in the bolt passageway and the plate floatingly retained between the arms. With this combination of structure, the plate can move in the base. Consequently, a bolt can be engaged with a component of the rear suspension of the vehicle and advanced into the bolt passageway, and then the plate with cylinder moved as necessary to threadably engage the bolt to couple the suspension to the frame rail while absorbing minor manufacturing tolerance variations.

    摘要: An apparatus for transferring rear shoulder belt loads to a frame of a motor vehicle includes a unitarily constructed reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is welded or otherwise fixedly attached to a C-pillar joint construction. The C-pillar joint construction includes an upwardly extending strut tower which is welded to a rail of the vehicle frame. The reinforcement member includes an upper end to which a turning loop of a rear seat belt assembly is attached, and a lower end to which a retractor mechanism of the seat belt assembly is attached. Loads from the seat belt are transferred from the reinforcement member through the strut tower and to the rail.

    摘要: A framing structure for the rear portion of an automotive, including a pair of spaced and generally vertically oriented suspension strut towers each tower fixed at lower and upper end portions to a lower cross beam and an upper cross beam respectively and with each cross beam extending the full width of the vehicle and with each beam having a closed cross-sectional configuration to providing a high degree of structural rigidity as a mounting platform for the left and right rear wheel suspensions. A yoke-like structure on the upper ends of each suspension strut tower supports an end portion of the upper cross beam, each yoke including a pair of spaced side walls between which an end portion of the beam extends so that in vehicle assembly the beam's end portions are positioned or floated in a respective yoke in sliding engagement between the spaced side walls which permits independent lateral shifting of the upper end portion of each strut tower into desired alignment with the vehicle and with one another. Subsequently, the overlying side walls of the strut towers are attached to the end portions of the cross beam by a plurality of widely spaced spot welds thus providing a high degree of rigidity and accuracy to the framing structure.

    摘要: A framing structure for the rear portion of an automobile, including a pair of spaced and generally vertically oriented suspension strut towers each tower fixed at lower and upper end portions to a lower cross beam and a unitary upper cross beam respectively and with each cross beam extending the full width of the vehicle and with each beam having a closed cross-sectional configuration providing a high degree of structural rigidity as a mounting platform for the left and right rear wheel suspensions. A yoke-like structure on the upper ends of each suspension strut tower supports an end portion of the unitary upper cross beam, each yoke including a pair of spaced side walls between which an end portion of the unitary beam extends so that in vehicle assembly the unitary beam's end portions are positioned or floated in a respective yoke in sliding engagement between the spaced side walls which permits independent lateral shifting of the upper end portion of each strut tower into desired alignment with the vehicle and with one another. Subsequently, the overlying side walls of the strut towers are attached to the end portions of the unitary cross beam by a plurality of spaced spot welds thus providing a high degree of rigidity and accuracy to the framing structure.

    摘要: A side impact protection system for a vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises a side impact zone and further comprises laterally spaced apart sills extending longitudinally of the vehicle. The laterally spaced apart sills have sill sealing flanges projecting vertically therefrom. The side impact protection system includes a continuous, linearly extending cross member disposed laterally in the vehicle for transferring load and redistributing energy away from an impact side of the vehicle. The linearly extending cross member extends between, and is in abutment with, the laterally spaced apart sills and the corresponding sill sealing flanges thereby allowing the linearly extending cross member to transfer load and redistribute energy immediately upon side impact of the vehicle.
